I'm in the process of making some amboyna burl scales for a Benchmade Ares. I'd like to lose the current black pivot and spacer bolts that are used and replace them with nice stainless steel versions. I can find substitute spacer bolts fairly easily but I can't seem to find a replacement for the pivot. The axis pivot bolt is a D shaped barrel with a torx screw on one side. I checked Knife Kits but the only D-shaped version they have is a different size. I'm certain I can find a torx screw that will work but I can't find the barrel part anywhere.

Does anyone know a source for a stainless steel D-shaped barrel that would work in a Benchmade axis lock pivot?

Thanks,
Ted
 
Just polish it up. The only part that will be sticking out will be the end. Use finer sandpaper or fine rods or something. It's just a black finish.

Thanks! Sometimes the obvious answer isn't so obvious - I can't believe I didn't think of that.
